TRENT COULD NOT WAIT.
The Young Forger Anxious to Get His
Prison Sentence.
THE JUDGE GAVE 1T TO HIM.
He Got the Limit of Five Years at
Hard Labor in State
I,y Prison.

A short note on ladies' writing paper,
and penned in neat, pretty style, was
handed to Judge Kelly and Prosecut-
ing, Attorney Egan yesterday. 1t was
Hsn George Trent, the forger, and
read as follows.
"Gentlemen: May it please your
honor, ask that my sentence be given
me this afternoon if possible, my attor-
ney being sick, and not knowing when
he will be able to be in court. wish to
Serve my time, whatever it may be, and
go to my wife, who needs my attention
very much. do not want to put the
court to any trouble whatever on my ac-
count, but / deem it best not to wait
these few days. Truly yours.
GEORGE TRENT"
During a slight lull in the case before
Judge Kelly, Trent was brought into
the court room and faced the judge fear
lessly, and, in spite of his crime, with
an hOnest-looking pair of eyes. The
judge told him that his letters evinced
more than ordinary ability, and after
complimenting him highly and dwelling
on his ability, the Judge killed the hope
that had appeared in .Trent's face by
giving him five years at hard labor.
That's too big sentence" said by
stander, and one or two others III the
court room made similar remark.
Trent has pretty wife and two inter
esting children, and is about twenty
four years of age. The offenSe was
forgery in the third degree, and five
years is the highest penalty.

The Cherokee Trouble.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 2O.-Latest informa-
ton from the Cherokee Nation is that
Special Agent Armstrong, after looking
over the ground. construes the law in
regard to the counting of votes for chief
in the same manner the Downing parti-
sans do, viz: That no business can be
transacted by the national council till
the vote for chief is counted. This is
also the view of the secretary of the in
terror. Mr.. Bunch will arrive at Table
quah to-day. when Col. Armstrong will
confer with him and other prominent
Nationals, and some definite action will
probably be taken. Mr.. Armstrong says
the CherokeeS must settle the difficulty
themselves, and the man they decide
for chief will be authorized by the de-
partment. He apprehends no trouble,
and will see to it that there is none. 1t
is expected that the council will be Ill
session shortly, and that peaceful eff
fort will be made to settle matters.

TWAS n CRUEL HOAX.
a Bogus Advertisement That Made
Much Annoyance.

Rev. Mr.. Kelley, of South st. Paul,
called at the GLOBE Office yesterday and
said that the following advertisement,
which appeared in the GLOBE, was
totally unauthorized and evidently put
there by some one that had a grudge
against him:
One hundred butchers and one hundred
laboreEs wanted at once. Inquire of Rev
Kelley, Exchange building, Union stock
yards, South st. raul.
Rev. Mr. Kelley states that day or
two ago he appeared in court
as "a witness against certain
man, who he thinks inserted the
advertisement as means of revenge.
Over 400 men applied at the place indi-
Gated, and OceaSiOned much trouble to
the business men at the stock exchange.
They were angry, Indignant, and ready
almost to fly at anybody.

Tie resolution passed unanimously.
The city offices will be removed next
year to the new city hall and court
house, and the city will have no further
use for the old building and site. The
council has long ago offered by resolu-
ton to give the site to the government
for the erection of a substantial govern
ment building to cost million dollars.
With this new purchase added, the city
will be able to offer as bonus for
a new government building the finest
site in the city, being all of the land
fronting Oh Fifth street, between Mar-s
ket and Washington streets, and eX-
tending back to depth of $50 feet. The
state representatives in congress are all
pledged to work for an appropriation
for the building during the present seS-
sion of congress, and the chances for
securing it could not be better.

ROAST FROM DIR. SMITH.
The Dispatch Story of His Change
of Faith, He Says, Is False in
Every Particular.

The Dispatch Story of His Change
of Faith, He Says, Is False in
Every Particular.
The Dispatch, which is coming to
print wild, weird sensations under scare
headlines, since its rival, the News,
came into the field, had for its Sensa-
tiOnal yarn yesterday story to the
effect that Rev. Samuel e. Smith, of the
First NJ. +. church, would change his
denomination and become pastor of the
Park Congregational church, in response
to an offer from that church. The arti-
Gle claimed that Mr.. Smith has a follow
ing OF $50 wealthy members who would
go where he did; that the Park church
had an excellent pastor, Rev. Norman
d. SeaYer, ID. d., but that the church
was in debt, and by securing DR.. Smith
they could secure the 150 wealthy men,
their money and influence, and the
church would become the most popular
and WealthieSt in the city. 1t also said
that at meeting Monday evening of
Parck church DIR. Seaver rendered his
resignation, but that no action was taken
on it.
| A GLOBE reporter last evening called
on DR.. Smith, and he had this to say:
'Yes, | have read that article in the
evening paper, and cannot imagine for
the life of me what the article was
based on. 1t is absolutely false, and
am at loss to know why they will
print such things without any fOunda-
ton. There is positively nothing in the
story, and that evening paper manufac-
tured it out of whole cloth without any
reason for doing it. They had no inter
view with me whatever. A reporter
called on me, but l refused to say a
word, and did not say what they credit
me with" This is what the paper
credits him with saying:
Dr. Smith would not deny, however, that
an offer had been made him by Park church.
Said he: There was meeting OF the church
last night and | expected to read the result
i'll the morning papers. but | didn't see a
word about it there. That's what you call a
scoop isn't it,
Now said the doctor, 81 deny that
article completely, and there is not a
vestige of truth in it. Nothing has been
done whatever. There was some in
formal talk with me regarding the es-
tabliShment of tabernacle here and
two gentlemen have been here this
evening to see me about it. Beyond
this there is nothing. | have signified
to no one what course intend to pur-
sue in the future. The offer l have been
considering from a church outside of
the city, is no longer under cOnsidera-
ton. | intend to remain where | am,
for some time to come at least. have
had two calls from Eastern churches of
my own denomination, but have de-
clined them. There is nothing going
on"

DANIEL MANNING.
A Statement Regarding His Con-
ditiOn Sent Out by the Family,

ALBANY, n. Y, Dec. 2O.-The family
of ex-Secretary Manning authorizes
this statement tonight as to his condi-
ton: Mr.. Manning came to Albany
Tuesday last from New York to spend
the holidays with his eldest son, James
III. Manning, whose residence Oh Lam
caster street was formerly that of the
secretary. Mr.. Manning has not had
either in New York, Albany or else
where any recurrence of the attack
which Frustrated him in Washington in
1856, nor is any expected by his physi-
clan. In the nature of the case they
say no such recurrence is possible. Mr..
Manning is somewhat weaker than be-
fore making the journey to Albany, but
his appetite remains good and his mind
is as clear as at any time in his life.
His condition, though serious, owing to
the physical weakness, is not at present
alarming.

The Wool Growers.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Dec. 20.-Promi-
nent wool growers met here yesterday
and adopted resolutions cOndemning
any effort for the reduction of tariff on
wool and urging upon congress the
necessity of retaining the present rate
of duty. The resolutions set forth that
the present rate should be maintained
on account of the depressed state of the
wool-growing interests and the fact that
Australia, the principal competitor in
the American wool markets, has for
years been prohibiting the introduction
into that country of American merino
sheen.
